I think my brain has started to get my body conditioned to this - last couple of nights , I've been awake at 3:00am. It's braw !! we'll be packing our bikes to leave JOG in daylight if it's a cloudless night. I love this time of year in West of Scotland !!!! Nowhere on earth does a sunset like Scotland in June/July - if you can stay awake long enough to see it !!!!!!

My erse has been in training too - cycling to work 3 days (100 miles) a week for the last 6 weeks or so (since I chucked the Ambulance job, and can leave for work as early as I like now).

Life is good playmates. You all stay safe , let's have no "oh ****" stories before we go .

Just read this post back to myself - what a load of rambling old pish . But I'm not going to change it

Feel pretty miffed I can't even be in the welcome committee at Lands End. Am going to get Chunk lots of jelly babies.... apparently it's what marathon runners use to keep their energy levels up?!!
Know you guys will be there for each other to keep each other going and the sence of achievement will make the saddle sore botties seem worthwhile ?!
Good on EACH and EVERYONE who is doing this trip and excellent work re the sponsorship so far!
